Ella O’Brien, RLOP Student

"My time in RLOP has provided several opportunities, such as meeting with local attorneys and Nebraska Supreme Court Justices, as well as being able to sit in on an 8th Circuit Court of Appeal hearing. At 91ÇÑ×Ó, the legal studies program offers the chance to take classes which mimic classes that you will take in law school and get a glimpse of the legal field. The professors are amazing and only work with you so that you can succeed during your undergraduate. For example, one of my professors helped me get an internship with a district court judge, which is an incredible opportunity during my undergraduate career.”
